Tired by how conformist, boring, and homogenous the world seems to be? Here's an armchair pilgrimage to some of the world's oddest and most interesting museums, including collections of asparagus, lawnmowers, ships in bottles, the pets of American presidents, worry beads, and burnt food. There's a vast SPAM Museum in Minnesota and the tiny Carrot Museum in Belgium, Iceland's elegant and studious Phallological Museum and Japan's high-tech Parasitological Museum, the British Lawnmower Museum in Lancashire and the Jell-O Museum in Le Roy, New York. Michelle Lovric also includes a list of additional museums that did not make it into her book and websites for recommended virtual museums.
